Everyone, although we don't generally have these types of articles up on the blog i wanted to relate this situation to you all. It's in reference to the email sent out last summer (sorry, i can't recall who sent it) of a Toronto man (Eli Horowitz) in our community who went missing while out on the lake fishing with his father-in-law last summer. the father-in-law's body was found but that of this thirty year old man has thus far not been. I've been hearing around town that they were going to restart the underwater search once again and then saw this article posted online.
Please, they're trying to collect funds to restart the search. In the meanwhile this man's wife is an agunah with three young children. Please read the part of the article that i copied down. If any of you can relate this to your friends or families to help collect funds it would be an incomparable chessed.
thank you.
We should have the zechus of being able to use this blog only for posting simchos!
Funds needed to locate body of missing Yungerman
We must turn to your merciful hearts…The next four weeks are crucial…the waters are at the best advantage stage for divers to descend (because there is no existing plant or marine life yet), and literally cover every inch of the 20 mile estimated area, and scrape the floor…until his body is found. (G-d willing)
We are reaching out to you!
THOUSANDS MUST BE RAISED NOW!! The clock is racing against us. Please respond immediately. Send your generous donation today…free the agunah…give her another chance at life…
Help the soul of AVRAHAM ELIMELECH BEN DEVORAH come to its final rest and ascend to the Keesay Hakavod to beseech Hashem on your behalf. In the Zechus that you help relieve their anguished cries, may Hashem spare you from pain, and shower upon you an abundance of happiness and peace.
This is a once in a lifetime mitzvah…
Please don’t let it slip by! The agunah is counting on you, her brothers and sisters…
Sincerely,
Ezra Grazi

we chap, dev, u didnt have to post it a billion times
It could be that it was a mistake, that there was an error with the blogger...dan l'kaf zechus a lil...
Guys, this man used to come on my high school retreats every year as a hatzolah member. I can't even BEGIN to imagine what his wife and 3 kids (1 girl in 1st grade and twin boy and girl, 3 yrs old) are going thru. Even if it's your ma'aser money, even if it's not as much as you'd like to give, EVERY PENNY COUNTS for something and it can go towards a goal.
In the zechus of everyone giving money and helping with the search, they should find him and his family should no longer have to be in the emotional turmoil that they're in to the degree that it's in. PLEASE!!
thanks guys, i had no idea it went up like that. better?
and by the way, the family was up again this shabbos by retreat.
*ruthie, u may want to blog this as well if u like
NP...
